The Brisbane Entertainment Centre managed to see all forms of music fans in the past week. The week started off on Tuesday, with teen sensation; Justin Bieber. It is an understatement to say, that the majority of the crowd, were tween girls, their mums, and their best of friends. Later on in the week, came Friday (to learn your days of the week as well I do, listen to Rebecca Blacks, ‘Friday’), which brought Chris Brown into town (see review HERE). Brown attracted quite a wide range of fans, but with the majority being mid 20 year old males and females. But on Saturday night, came a whole different ‘species’ of music fans. The “Die-Hard-Metal-Heads” were swarming from the parking lots and train stations. It was obvious to tell, that they were hard rockers of all ages, dressed in the black tour shirts, and jet black pants. It was made obvious, that one of the greatest metal bands were in town, Disturbed.
Now personally not being one for metal, I was a bit skeptical of the night, and had my close minded pre-judgements already thought out. However, through the night, I learned that metal isn’t all about thrashing of guitars, and screaming of the vocal chords. And it was no better to learn this from Disturbed as the feature, and the fantastic openers as well. With ‘As I Lay Dying’, ‘Trivium’, and ‘Forgiven Rival’, opening up the show, all they needed were Slayer and Metallica to join, to have the best possible metal line up. Each of the opening bands definitely pulled their weight to say the least, and Australia will be giving them a warm welcome in the future.
But it was after the openers, when the lights dimmed once again, and the curtain dropped, when the crowd went ballistic. Each member of the band, came out for a quick intro solo, to have the crowd pumped right off the top. The flames, the light show, the overall set up of the stage was astounding.
If you are a true, hard rocking fan of such bands, than I imagine you have already seen, at least one, if not all, of the performing acts of the night. If not, we highly recommend you find the next stop on the tour close to your home town, and buy tickets for you, your friends, your family, your neighbors, heck, even your pets; because this is a show, that ever rock fan will appreciate.

What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.

Mainstream’s what’s ppaluor. Metal was never ppaluor. Metal is the opposite of ppaluor. Metal is a war against ppaluority, commercialism, war, hunger and everything similar.Old Black Sabbath’s a metal band.Heavy metal, on the other hand, is Iron Maiden. In their songs you get a story, whether you like it or not, about life itself, fantasies and everything which makes the living world. Mainstream currently are screamo/death metal bands for metal and weird rap artists made by kids who’re 13 years old. Mainstream music lost something, I just don’t know what. Same goes for games.
